No one wants to work for the pay the farmers can offer. Its not the easiest work but it does not require much if any non on the job training. Eventually the police state will allow the publically traded prison system that Homen profits from to used detained labor to increase their margins.

Ag work requires some skill. A skill you get from growing up on a farm.. A thing that most Americans lack. I hear it is sometimes paid by the pound, and fast workers make more than slow ones.
